8.
Reverse fault <ul><li>A fault in which the hanging wall block moves up relative to the footwall block. </li></ul>

9.
Thrust fault <ul><li>Reverse faults with dips of less than 45 degrees </li></ul>

10.
Strike-slip fault <ul><li>Faults in which the movement is parallel to the trend or strike, of the fault surface </li></ul>

11.
Key Concepts <ul><li>The factors that influence the strength of a rock and how it will deform include temperature, confining pressure, rock type, and time. </li></ul><ul><li>Rocks deform permanently in two ways: brittle deformation and ductile formation. </li></ul>

12.
Key Concepts <ul><li>Forces that are unable to deform rock when first applied may cause rock to flow if the force is maintained over a long period of time. </li></ul><ul><li>The three types of stresses that rocks commonly undergo are tensional stress, compressional stress, and shear stress. </li></ul>

13.
Key Concepts <ul><li>The three main types of folds are anticlines, synclines, and monoclines. </li></ul><ul><li>The major types of faults are normal faults, reverse faults, thrust faults, and strike-slip faults. </li></ul>
